About Antisemitism Then and Now. An Evening of Remembrance for the October 7 Massacre in Israel in New York
On the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre in Israel, White Rabbit’s Books invites you to an evening of conversation about the history of antisemitism and its manifestations in contemporary societies around the world — how it emerges and takes shape, evolves and recedes, only to resurface again in new forms.
How does antisemitism emerge and become normalized? How does it adapt to changing political, cultural, and intellectual environments? Why do ideas and prejudices that may seem to have faded return in new forms? And how can the long history of antisemitism help us understand what we are witnessing today?
The evening will bring together two speakers and a moderator for a conversation that will connect historical perspective with contemporary experience.
Our first speaker is historian Maxim Matusevich, Professor of History and Department Chair at Seton Hall University.
“The October 9th Jew: Professional Challenges and Moral Dilemmas of Academic Life after October 7th”. In the aftermath of the horrific October 7th attack by Hamas on southern Israel and the ensuing bloody wars that continue to convulse the Middle East three years later, many Jewish academics in the West have been forced to face serious professional challenges and excruciating moral dilemmas. Quite often they found themselves confronted with the reality of their institutions and professional spaces becoming inhospitable to Jews, especially to those Jews who could be identified as “Zionist.” This hostility came as a shock to many, but probably less so to Jewish academics with immigrant backgrounds, especially those who grew up and came of age in the former Soviet Union. Historian Maxim Matusevich will share his personal experience navigating the post-October 7th academia. He will also place the story of his personal and professional frustrations in its broader historical context and try and outline the historical genealogy of anti-Israel and antizionist activism among the intellectual elite class in the West.
About the speaker. Maxim Matusevich is Professor of History and Department Chair at Seton Hall University. He has published extensively on the history of the Cold War and Soviet-African encounters. He is also a fiction writer. His new collection of short stories and novellas, Six Trains of No Return, was published earlier this year by Academic Studies Press.
Our second speaker is Verena Podolsky, MA in Journalism, NYU; currently a Clinical Psychology doctoral student at CCNY.
Mislabeling on the Battlefield: How Leading English-Language Media Report Casualties in Gaza. How do the world’s most trusted news outlets report casualties in Gaza, and what do they leave out? The Fifty Global Research Group founded by Tatiana Glezer, an independent volunteer team of researchers from Australia to California, analyzed 1,378 articles from the BBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, AP, Reuters and ABC, coding every statement about casualties. The findings show consistent imbalances. Outlets rely heavily on aggregate figures from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health, often without saying where the numbers come from. Data on combatant deaths is almost never cited. And Israeli figures get far more skepticism than Hamas ones.
Verena Podolsky, (MA in Journalism, NYU; currently a Clinical Psychology doctoral student at CCNY), a member of the research team since 2024, will discuss how these practices turn total casualty counts into an “authoritative version” of civilian loss. She will also preview two upcoming studies: one on healthcare under armed non-state governance in Gaza, and one on how news outlets fail to correct false claims, letting them persist through repetition.
Admission: $10
